All Hail Charles Barkley, Our Next President

One of my favorite semi-jokes at Juvenile Court is to inform people that I can bet I know who their favorite politician is. When they wonder how I know, I inform them that Charles Barkley, the retired basketball star, has announced he intends to return to Alabama and run on the platform that, if elected, he will institute a policy that any man who fathers a child and doesn’t take responsibility will have their future abilities surgically removed in a public, live, televised ceremony.

As yet, Mr. Barkley enjoys an approval rating among Juvenile Court workers above 95%.
